The Illuminati: Conspiracy Theory or New World Order?

Public Enemy’s Professor Griff is weighing in on the subject, too. Griff now holds lectures on the Illuminati in hip-hop, and has put out a 90-minute DVD lecture explaining The Truth of the evil forces Jay and Kanye are playing with, showing slides of Kanye on the cover of Time magazine as proof. “The cover of Time is reserved for presidents,” he says indignantly. “How’d a rapper get it?” (Also, according to Griff, the Illuminated and those in charge are injecting tones and beats into hip-hop music specifically designed to stimulate the pituitary gland and make the listener horny.)

MC Hammer (who now goes by the name King Hammer), has taken to calling Jay-Z “hell boy” on Twitter, and even wrote a track about him and his evil ways, “Better Run Run.” In the video for the song, Hammer baptizes Jay-Z in a river.

“Hip-hop has always had a deep engagement with conspiracy theories,” says Marc Lamont Hill, professor and “hip-hop intellectual” at Columbia University; a Fox News and CNN talking head; and Our World with Black Enterprise host on TV One. “In fact, black culture in general has always had pervasive conspiracy theories—in the 1980s people thought the ‘K’ on the Snapple bottle represented Ku Klux Klan or that Church’s Chicken was sterilizing black people. There have always been questions and conspiracies about the structure and nature of power by African-Americans, and naturally those questions have made their way into hip-hop. Powerless people tend to try and make sense of their circumstance in different ways.”

He adds: “When you think about the ’90s political hip-hop that was a part of a whole cultural nationalist tradition within hip-hop and within black culture, themes about the Illuminati came up. People were going to black book stores like Hakims in West Philly or Robbins downtown and buying books like Behold a Pale Horse. They were buying books on Free Masonry and Leviathan and reading Malichi York’s books, they were reading the Isis papers and all these books that discussed arrangements of power. They were talking about the Illuminati and the Rothchilds and Bilderbergs.”

Hill rationalizes that when people feel powerless, they look for ways to make sense of it. “One way is to blame themselves—‘We don’t work hard enough, we don’t care about ourselves’—that’s certainly been a popular narrative about black people, right? … Another responsive is to say, “They [the powerful] don’t play fair. The game is rigged.”

People feeling powerless is why the Tea Party was founded. They were tired of standing by impotently as taxes were raised into oblivion, a health-care system they didn’t want or need was shoved down their throats and more stimulus money was spent in the face of an already Everest-sized debt.

It’s why Glenn Beck can get on TV with puppets and prattle on about the evils of a philanthropist who has toppled more communist governments than Ronald Reagan.

“You don’t want to completely dismiss people who have conspiracy theories, because part of why these conspiracies develop is they’re plausible,” Hill says. “They’re believable because they happen. People have a healthy suspicion of any kind of power arrangement. Any time people have a large chunk of power, it’s reasonable and natural to believe they didn’t get it fairly.”

Hip-hop may have long been cynical about those who dine in the halls of power, but it’s the first time the focus is on one of their own.

“Jesus can’t save you, life starts when church ends.”

For Jay-Z, what had been faint murmurs about his religious affiliation was turned up to 11 about as instantly as it took him to rap that line.

Delivered on Jay-Z’s “Empire State of Mind,” it lit the Internet ablaze, and suddenly more scrutiny was being paid to Jay’s songs. “Lucifer” on the Black Album and “D’Evils” off his debut Reasonable Doubt (the chorus of which is rapped by Mobb Deep’s Prodigy, revived from a verse he did on a remix of LL Cool J’s “I Shot Ya”: “Illuminati want my mind, soul and my body, secret society tryna keep they eye on me”). This is really when Jay-Z’s stones, as it were, began to not go unturned. In the minds of Christian rap fans looking very intensely, they were finding evidence.

The controversy was white hot in the circles where it mattered: rap fans of faith. They took to making angry YouTube video responses—“Jay-Z Disses JESUS CHRIST”—about the lyric. They took to blogs. They took to Twitter. They wanted an explanation.

They wouldn’t get one, not right away, but the pressure did manifest in other ways. Jay-Z began to change the lyric when performing “Empire State” live on TV.

“Jesus Christ could not save you … ”

The act of semi-contrition worked for a bit. The fever began to break. But then the videos started, first with Kanye and Rihanna, for their ubiquitous hit with Jay, “Run This Town.”

In it Rihanna is handed a lit torch. She makes the Rocafella sign over her left “all seeing” eye. She and Kanye perform their verses in front of an angry mob, which conspiracy theorists believe are an angry citizenry looking to revolt against the status quo, represented by Jay, Ye and Rihanna, their rulers who want to keep them down.

Jay adds lubricant to the rumor mill’s churning gears when he begins to wear a hoodie in public with the words “Do What Thou Wilt,” the official dictum of Ordo Templi Orientis (O.T.O.), a hermetic order modeled after Freemasonry and German Illuminism headed by its most notorious member, noted Occultist Aleister Crowley.

And then the lyrics get dissected once again. The last line of Jay’s first verse is “Back to running circles’ round niggas, now we squared up,” and refers, according to sites and blog posts that broke them down, to the Masonic concept of squaring a circle. “I get more in-depth if you boys really real enough,” Jay teases afterward.

But the lyric that people can’t let go of, is the one where they feel Jay-Z basically admits his allegiance.

COMMENTS

“Let the New World Order come in all of it'sbadness. If you are free in your mind thenno Luciferian/Illuminati conspiracy will bea concern.

For some of us who believe in God, wetrust that we will be provided for., so noIlluminati can kill our spirit, though they can kill our body.

The only Satanic conspiracy is our own Ego, and how we are selfish. Rappers areconceited, and play the game with a wink,or act foolish in how they take it seriously.

Conspiracies may exist, but the ,"man", is your own Ego. It is your responsibility tounderstand what you can control or notcontrol, this is called being a grown up.

Let the Illuminati play their games, If God isGod then we will be taken care of in the eternal life promised by the cosmic Christ.,as well as here in the material world.

Once again, are you free in your mind?”

I hope the illuminati bring about the nwo and the antichrist because that means the end is in sight and my Lord Jesus will descend from heaven the same way he asended into heaven.. Repent and believe in Jesus Christ for the day of judgment is coming and who will be able to stand.. The illuminati will bow at his feet and confess with their mouths that Jesus Christ is God.. For the day is coming and if u haven't put your whole faith in Christ and you think the illuminati is scary, let me tell u the sight of him coming back is going to be the most horrific sight in the eyes of unbelievers unlike ever seen before in the history of the universe.. Gods command is to repent and believe!”

“I guess my question would be, if this is nothing more than speculatory rumor, then why go on the record and deny it? It makes more sense from a business stand point to stay ambiguous and let people guess, look for something that isn't there. By denying it, you have the potential of losing money and why do that? Keep people looking for things that don't exist. Let the witch hunt continue, because if you're not involved then they can't prove anything and they'll keep giving you attention. If you don't believe in religion then people saying you're allied with the devil doesn't mean anything to you personally. Lol This article seems like a lot of speculation to me too. There's nothing here that debunks the theories, it's just dismissing them as non-sense with no proof of it being true or false. This isn't news, news has facts in it. Lol you're acknowledging something is happening and I guess that's a form of news, but you're opinion isn't backed with any information. Seems fishy to me.”

“Silly conspiracy theories distract attention from real conspiracies.

Silly: the Illuminati. It was a minor intellectual group in Europe, shut down over 200 years ago by a ban on secret societies by the government of Bavaria.

Silly: Freemasons as anti-U.S. conspirators. In reality, many of the creators of the United States were Masons, including George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Paul Revere, and more. Freemasonry has declined since then, but it's as American as apple pie.

Real: The vast criminal network of conspiracies to shovel so much money into Wall Street and wars that much of the middle class is being destroyed. Millions will be killed to create a feudal society in what used to be America -- especially African-Americans, and others whose skin is not white enough.

How to fight back: A new kind of movement -- anti-authoritarian, anti-abuse consciousness that flows into and out of existence anywhere, everywhere, in everybody, forever -- like matter in modern quantum physics.”

“WANT PROOF THAT THE DEATH OF OSAMA BIN LADEN IS A CONSPIRACY?

Scam artists have cornered the market on affiliate marketing education. Their sites use aliases, bogus whois info, and registrations in different states and countries. What are they hiding?

After many years researching, a link appeared on Armand Morin’s blog to Al-Qaeda. A number of these con artist's faces matched up with the FBI’s MOST WANTED TERRORISTS.

Here are wanted terrorists, some for U.S. embassy bombings in Kenya & Indonesia. Do these two places ring any bells?

Many get rich quick scams serve as product placement for new cutting edge internet technologies, and logos, some sold through Clickbank. The people appearing in testimonials are part of the expansion of this organization and are often pitching other high priced products and services. They all link to one another through their marketing strategies and ability to optimize in search rankings.

Between the aliases the use, and the way in which they speak about things, everything they do has double meaning. Here is a code of look a likes pitching all sorts of stuff who are interconnected.

Selling a program on making millions online is Professor James Bradley who looks like the Pentagon bomber Bill Ayers.

Jay Conrad Levinson is behind a number of “guerilla” marketing and advertising books. He looks like George Soros, who’s last name is a (palin)drome. Soros has been credited for collapsing a number of nation’s currencies.

The Super Affiliate Handbook is sold by someone who looks like Jill Biden, her name is Rosalind Gardner. Some appear to represent people, more in how they pose, rather then a direct look a like. Stephen Pierce appears to represent radical Van Jones, Brett McFall-Austan Goolsbee, John Childers-Andy Stern, and Jay Abraham as Ayman al-Zawahri.

Problem with your Google Adwords PPC ads and can’t get a straight answer? You could try Yanik Silver who looks a lot like Sergei Brin, but he probably won’t know. He sells 33 Days to Online Profits (prophets.) Why not try Perry Marshall, who looks like Obama’s priest Reverend Pfleger? He sells The Definitive Guide To Google Adwords, infringing upon Google’s trademark.

Many more can be seen at Lorrie Morgan Ferrero’s Red-Hot-Copy.com blog such as; 72 Virgin Records Richard Branson, & White House Party Crashers the Salahi’s with Valerie Jarrett’s daughter.

The Rich Jerk sent out emails promoting Stompernet in Atlanta Georgia. The staff included Brad Fallon, an airline pilot, and Eben Pagan selling a seminar "Get Altitude". 3 days after reporting this code to the FBI, Delta in Atlanta canceled a large number of flights due to safety reasons. In the Youtube videos related to the Rich Jerk, it appears that Mark Cuban is the Rich Jerk. He’s the billionaire who owns the Dallas Maverick’s basketball team. Think O'bomber or Barrac-uda Palin would play for him? Another guy claiming to be Robert Johnson Rich Jerk is Tony Rezko.

Obama announced his run for office on Oprah Winfrey’s show. Have you ever noticed that Oprah’s shopping friend Gayle King looks a lot like Whitney Houston? Did you ever think that her name could be a code, Whit_ney White-Hous_ton House?

In my strongest opinion this is the last piece of the puzzle, Osama Bin Laden is also a spokesperson, and a look-a-like. Osama represents Obama/Biden (Bi)n La(den.)

NOT CONVINCED THAT THE DEATH OF OSAMA BIN LADEN IS A CONSPIRACY? THEN WHY HAS THIS BEEN DELETED REPEATEDLY FROM MAJOR NEWS SITES?”

“The Death of Osama Bin Laden and the New World Order Illuminati Conspiracy

My name is Aaron Fleszar and I’d like to expose, with your help, the largest conspiracy in world history. Most people don’t believe in conspiracies or conspiracy theories, I know because I was one of them. The thing about a conspiracy is it cannot be proven, if it could, it wouldn’t be a conspiracy. I will try and make this as simple as possible so that you can follow my logic and likely reach the same conclusions.

What do we know about Osama Bin Laden that we haven’t been told by the media? We know that he is a spokesperson for Al-Qaeda. Once or twice a year, this guy appears in video, pointing his finger, from a tape that mysteriously arrives at the Al-Jazeera network. If Osama Bin Laden is only spokesperson, and not a mastermind, who makes up the organization behind him?

Even a president is only a spokesperson. A president surrounds himself with an administration that advises him. There is always a force behind a president with an agenda. Sometimes that agenda is known, sometimes it’s not.

Are we being mislead by Osama Bin Laden and the organization behind him? Could Osama be the spokesperson for a New World Order, the richest people in the world who would like to take over the government? Could Osama be a distraction, and a catalyst, for starting an endless war on terror, increasing defense department spending, lining the pockets of defense contractors, and driving up the price of oil?

Could the attacks on 9/11 be attacks against capitalism? Is Al-Qaeda or New World Order’s goal to destroy capitalism? Would destroying capitalism allow the richest people in the world a chance to implement socialism, get wealthier by collapsing the dollar, and allow them to institute a one world currency, only to enslave the rest of the world to their New World Order government?

Everyone knows that something happened on 9/11 that is being covered up, but what is it? Is it that planes didn’t collapse 2 buildings which fell with precision as if they were being brought down by a controlled demolition? Is it that no one ever talks about the third building which collapsed that never got hit by an airplane? Were the planes nothing more than misdirection, or an illusion, created by Al-Qaeda/New World Order, also known as “the Illuminati?”

Written across thousands of get rich quick scams online there is a code. Al-Qaeda or NWO appears to be using the internet to take over all ecommerce and media. Several people making up this code are look a likes for people associated with the current administration, in addition to media moguls, and CEO’s.

Several of the FBI’s Most Wanted Terrorists make up this code online. They are wanted for US embassy bombings in Kenya, Obama’s family’s birthplace, and Indonesia, a place where Obama spent many years as a child.

What’s interesting about the Al-Qaeda organization online, that literally own the internet, is that this same group of marketing experts ran the last election on Youtube. Could the organization behind Osama Bin Laden be the New World Order Illuminati? Could the organization behind the election of Obama, be the same group? Could Osama be the look a like to represent Obama, and Biden, Bi(nla)den?

It’s not a conspiracy when it’s taking place right in front of you. There is just an overwhelming amount of misinformation to try and prevent you from connecting the dots. Keep in mind that the Illuminati, or New World Order, are masters at illusion.

It’s important for the future of America that you tell others immediately about this website. Email and text everyone you know and tell them to read this website. When enough people start demanding honest answers, we will finally learn the truth to what really happened on 9/11.

Thank you for reading this,Aaron M Fleszar”

“Look at the mankind history. Everytime must be some persons trying have the power in their hands and control the world. After the end of the empires and the World War II some new paranoids try to make a Universal Empire. They try to make this Universal Empire with clever ways, not necessarily with war. The new technology will help their plans.This is the New World Order. This will be the dictatorship of the devil. The dictatorship of the Antichrist.

“If you get past all of the puppets and the strings, if you stop looking at the puppets themselves, you have to see who’s behind the puppets. Who is choosing the puppets and the players? Who’s the puppet master?” The answer to this question is very simple. The puppet master is the Antichrist, the devil. The love of money and the love of power and fame are the tricks Antichrist use to take humans to be his puppets.

Don't let puppets and the Antichrist to terror you. Believe in Jesus Christ, pray and put into practice His Holy Word.”

“It is forums such as these that give Americans a bad name. We are all a lot of naive, unintelligent people. Why? Because no one knows how to make up there own mind. Television, the internet, media (movies and music), these are the only tools people use to make decisions these days. I agree that this is all about PR. Yes, the story of the Illuminati, The Masonic order, The Priory of Scion, and The Knights Templar can be shown to exist. Some with very high ranking and powerful members. But a rap artist? I don't feel like putting all of it out there for you. Just do some research. You would be surprised how many artists from all different genres of music alone have used the stories of these organizations to compile an album worth of songs. They usually do enough research that people believe completely that these particular artists are elite members in these ancient and powerful groups. I'd love to rant more, but they only provide so much room.”

And a Catholic organization that abuses children and hoards the world's wealth to fuel its agenda (anti gay rights, anti abortion, etc) does not seem more satanic (with is countless saints and figures like it directly adopted them from Greek mythology and changed the names) than a Rap artist who got a little fame from being clever and from the streets?

“The smartest move the "people who control everything" did was to spread misinformation in these fringe groups that the "Illuminatti" is some Jewish conspiracy. That is not at all true, but it leads to people discrediting anyone who repeats the idea, because that jewish control idea is now tied in with the "Illuminatti conspiracy". So now anytime someone says there is "Illuminatti"-people just say,"Well he is just an anti-semite and this is all some white right wing nut jobs.

The truth is the illuminatti does use the entertainment industry as their pawns for mind control and suggestion,and the entertainment industry does have alot of Jews in it, but they are just pawns. People like Jay-Z and Kanye are even bellow that and are puppets of the pawns. So Jay Z isn't lying when he says he isn't Illuminatti. He isn't-he is unwhittingly spreading their message. The truth is this conspiracy is actually against jews, black males and white males, and not pro jewish or pro black.”

“People educate yourself on this. It is fine if people want to wear pagan symbols, like Jay says. I don't mind when I see people wearing African or Egyptian symbols. But ask Jay Z and Kanye what is up with Baphomet symbols. Because Baphomet is not an ancient African thing, It first appears in Spain around the 9th or 10th century. Baphomet was championed by racist white occultist Alistair Crowley. The same guy who said "Do what thou whilt". That Jay wears. This is not some pro black stuff Jay and Kanye are doing. Learn about Alistair Crowley and his racist beliefs and background, See Just like Kweli says in here, learn about the author and his motives. This applies both ways. Baphomet is not some harmless pagan symbol. It is in fact a religious symbol.”

“Someone said they only let us know what they want us to and that all the things we embrace belongs to the very rulership we try to fight against. I agree. The truth is they are not trying to gain rulership but to maintain it and to have the world as they would like it and not under any pretext of good, light righteousness. When the beast who has tricked mankind reveals himself in full then humanity shall beat themselves in shame for what we worshipped and never realized that it was being rubbed in our faces all along. The One True Lord whom we turned our backs on centuries ago may just quit being offended and stand for those of His people who are mentally shackled and other such like ones who will turn to Him. Take heed”

If you buy into the love of money, objectification of women, promiscuity, alcohol and drug abuse, etc. often celebrated in music videos, what's the point in searching for hidden satanic meanings?”

“"So Illuminati is definetly REAL! But there are many conspiracy &yet NO facts to those who want the reasons of it's purpose. Many times I felt it was use for selfish evil power; at the same time every person assumed to be in it might be truely ment for good. Cons: you never know who's really in, assumptions aren't facts. Pros: The people that may sided with them could also be here for good. So far every person assumed to be connected with them ALL seem to actually do help the community. Critisizem is just doubt in the possibility that they could be God's helper &just maybe it's his test to see who judge those that God despises those who do &that makes you weak; faith &belief, as well as love can conquer beyond what is unknown to us "simple minded" folk. I personally just let God make my path &allow us/me to have an open mind to Illuminati being a subject that will soon enough reveal the truth! So until further notice, everything that sounds impossible is a proven existence.”

“I see many of the comments denouncing the Illuminati are not all there. You can use your words to explain something rather than repeatedly cursing. I think the people detesting this issue are not open minded. After doing repeated research on both sides of the issues, my opinion stands that their is a group in this world that are the main controllers of everything. The next flu vaccine season, I want to see all of you actually question what you are putting in your body and really think. Actually, before you hit up that fast food restaurant because it is easier than cooking, look at yourself. We believe what the media is feeding us (it's called repetition) and that is really the sad part. Easier, right? Do your own research. Read, research, and follow through before you make sudden judgements that will allow for this world to be torn apart and all that the American people have worked hard and paid for be taken. Also, researching just one side will not allow you to see the truth.”

When I and Amy lee of evanescence were spirits he says my was Jesus. This spirirt made a deal with us that when we go to live he would contact us when we grow up and tell everything about who controls the world which is illuminati, this spirit is fed up with with them for a long time .long time a go he took a oath to keep this secret private but he doesnt care any more. So now that i grew up me and amy lee of evanescene he told her that jesus is alive, all she knows is that my name is Peter she doesnt know what i know, These secrets explain how the life of Jeseus and who made the bible which was illuminati, there is no god”

And in todays society the Government can trick and say anything over the TV NEWS for everyone to believe. JFK, Tupac, Martin Luther King Jr., President Ab Lincoln, all Great men who were out to do the right thing and there life were cut short. Tupac a man who talk about this conspiracy even named an album after this secret group there are to many coincidences to prove the statements iven by many.

“Wow- were is the intellectual aspect of this comment thread? It's sorely missing.

Isn't it obvious to most of you that the same type of people who latch onto unprovable supernatural and magical spiritual BS are the same type of people who latch onto unprovable conspiracies?

And why- fear and the discomfort of not knowing something. Humans (we now know) hate not knowing things (mainly because they're super complicated or just still unknown) because it makes us feel very, very uncomfortable. We also now know that humans would rather accept false answers that give them a sense of security and even a sense of "getting it" and "out foxing" whatever it is they think they've exposed.

I'm human and subject to all of our human imperfections, but knowing that should make you weary of trusting anything that has a simple explanation for immensely complicated and perhaps even unanswerable questions.

Imagine (you're good at that!) if you spent your time on things that ARE provable?!”

“From the article: “Aggressive constitutionalist” Alex Jones..."- WTF? The constitution is written by imperfect humans trying to the best of their abilities to help society. We've discovered and learned a lot since the late 18th century. Also, society and the world are much different now than they were back then.

Why bend over backwards to keep something stagnant the tries to defy change? Fear, that's why. Fear of change. Fear that the whole of existence will CHANGE and we won't have a step by step manual of what to do! OMG!!! Change is inevitable. Don't fear it, but accept it and try to mold it into something that is positive.”

“The Illuminati is planning on using chips that have already been created to control your money, there will be no dollar bills or change, all of your money will be on this chip, which is inserted in your head or your hands. This WILL happen it even says it in the bible. Revelations 13:16-17 "(16) He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, (17) and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. (666)" People need to open their eyes and see whats happening. The bible does not say when this world will end, but he does give us hints, and all of the hints he has given to us are things that are happening right now!”

That would end up humanity in plain chaos.That is why we had to built up a structure to keep things as stable as possible. With everyone doing to his own likes humanity would not be as what we know it today.And that is why you can find the pyramide like structure in all kind of organisations, yet even in your family.It has been like this since when?

The entertainment industry thrives on such BS to constitute their outrageous puppetiering because they do not belong or understand what it means to be a Mason or how to become one. They use its Mysticism to create an aura around them that they have no clue what it stands for or means to them, but choose to use it for the sake of ambiguity. If they knew anything about it they would probably want to burn the buildings to the ground, which in turn makes them the perfect candidate for the Illuminati to use ass their front men or women... Think just think is Nikki really an EASTERN STAR...? I DON'T THINK SO... IS JZ A 33RD DEGREE MASON...? I DONT THINK SO... IS OUR PRESIDENT... AND HIS CATHOLIC VICE PRES A MASON...? Enough said. NOPE.

The illuminati wouldnt just pluck someone off of a website to allow them entry into the decades old secretive organization... They're secretive for a reason... They could get captured and killed any moment of their day... So why would they do something that stupid... They would examine the people they are interested in... Even before they even confront you... They look for certain things in a person... Most importantly they need to know they are free and open minded... Can think for themselfs without the government, media, and rest of the world telling them what to believe, what not to believe and what to think about... So why the hell would they do something this stupid... If yall are gonna pose as the illuminati try making it more convincing you stupid SOBs.”
